Brad Lhotsky (edgeofsanity.net/), Systems & Security Administrator @ CraigslistGraphite revolutionized monitoring and our expectations of monitoring tools. Criticized for being too slow, clunky, or awkward, most folks are moving away from Graphite to other tools promising horizontal scaling, SQL-ish syntax, and fancy, shiny moving parts. We'll discuss why Graphite's simple Whisper file backend might be all you need. We'll try squeezing all the performance we can from the official Graphite applications. The talk will cover some features in the new 1.1.x branch and how you can use Graphite to be more successful.Cast: LibratoTags: monitoring, graphite and sf metrics meetup
